This Market Reminds Me of Warm Autumn Days

During most autumns there comes a moment, right around now usually, where we see unseasonably warm temperatures for a week or two in a row. In that instance it is human nature to extrapolate and think, "Maybe it won't get too cold this winter; Heck, maybe even winter entirely misses us this year!" Of course, the moment always passes. And, soon...

Know Which Way the Wind Blows

With the Dollar and rates both sinking this morning, equity bulls have an opening to rally as year-end seasonality turns more bullish in a pronounced manner. True, the FOMC, followed by the midterms, not to mention tonight's GOOGL MSFT V earnings (just to get the ball rolling before AAPL AMZN META later this week) and a side dish of Russia and...

Japan is Clearly Sweating This Level

The Dollar/Yen currency cross, below on the hourly timeframe, has actually been in a strong uptrend since the beginning of 2021. However, it was only in late-September of this year that the Bank of Japan began to truly panic over its currency's weakness, right around the same time as the U.K. faced its own issues with the pension funds. As the...

We'll See if Bulls Have a Marvelous Boxing Chin

It is often said that Marvelous Marvin Hagler has the best "chin" in boxing history, meaning it was uniquely different to connect on punches to the point where it knocked him down. In the current market we have China tech stocks being bludgeoned today. BABA PDD WB and many there formerly hot-to-trot growth stocks are getting absolutely...

Enough of the Blues

Long-time readers and Members will recall two years ago, almost to the day, that we discussed the deeply out-of-favor energy stocks in a favorable light. Many folks were completely dismissive of the group at that point since they had belly lagged the explosive rally off the March 2020 lows. And it was widely accepted that fossil fuels were...

Holed Up, Down But Not Out

Between the emergency bond buying measures both in England and then overnight in Japan against the backdrop of sticky high inflation, gold seems to have been the odd man out of late. Markets, however, have a history of marching to their own drumbeat. And just because something does not materialize immediately does not mean it will not in due...

Next Stop in Doubt

The NFLX and ISRG earnings rallies today are being countered by continued strength in the U.S. Dollar as well as rates pushing higher yet above 4% on the 10-Year Note. As you would expect, the latter two are pressuring equities and risk-on vibes altogether. That said, oil is marginally higher and, perhaps more significantly, energy stocks are...
